2015: Year In Review

By:

2015 — That just happened.

2015_BSA_Blog_Postv3
 

Baker Street Advertising started 2015 like we usually do in odd years: creating world class work for the World Champion San Francisco Giants. We also elevated our work for Northern California Honda Dealers with our elegant, yet sometimes hilarious, “NorCal Gets It” campaign. Our “#AskAnyHondaDriver” digital films and app shattered previous earned media records. As did our #Snacktivities films created for Sun-Maid Raisins. We reached new levels of insight discovery and behavioral targeting and helped our Clients reach their goals with more mobile and digital video than ever before. Along the way we picked up Digital Agency of the Year honors at the IMA Impact15 Awards, and put a dozen more creative awards on the shelf honoring 2014’s work.

But before we hurt a collective rotator cuff patting ourself on the back, we must give props and salutations to our imaginative, bold thinking Client partners who push us, challenge us, and at times take great leaps of faith with us to achieve work we are all proud of. And last but not least, we owe thanks to our production partners: producers, cameramen, editors, fx magicians, colorists, sound engineers, photographers, animators, printers, and, of course, crew and bartenders. We hope you all are as proud of the work as we are:

What Happened in Vegas

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Except this: Baker Street Advertising won Agency of the Year at the Internet Marketing Association’s IMPACT15 digital marketing conference.

When two of our leaders were invited to be keynote speakers at IMPACT15 in Las Vegas, we had no idea how far this ride would take us. We were honored to have our President and Founder, Jack Boland, and our Creative Chief, Brian Bacino, reppin’ on the main stage. They presented “Together We’re Giant,” a dive into digital sports marketing, alongside our client Tom McDonald, the SVP of Marketing at the San Francisco Giants.

And Don Donovan AKA the “Sherlock Holmes of Big Data” AKA our Chief Strategy Officer, presented “Cracking the Code of Big Data” in a breakout session. Other speakers included executives from global behemoths like Barnes & Noble Education, Oracle Data Cloud and Evite. So, yeah, we were already stoked to be a part of it.

But little did we know that more things to celebrate were coming our way. In addition to winning Digital Agency of the Year, Baker Street Advertising also took home four more IMPACT15 trophies — in four distinct social media categories for three of our clients: the San Francisco Giants, Northern California Honda Dealers and Sun-Maid.

So how do we think it happened?
 
According to BSA Prez Jack Boland: “Our approach to marketing and our mantra is: ‘Discovery. Creativity. Proof.’ From insight to strategically-sound creative to concrete results, winning these awards is a testament to our unique model.”
 
BSA’s Chief Creative Officer, Brian Bacino, adds “This show is about getting results. Which we did, but I also think the judges couldn’t resist falling in love with the creative.”
 
Fellas, your staff agrees. And couldn’t be more excited about it.
